DIY high end speakers?

Is there any consensus on which of the published (via Internet) speaker designs / kits are actually worth it? I am very handy (I design and build furniture as a hobby and have a full shop) and as a result am considering going the DIY route for speakers but I need a starting point for my research.

What are some good links and resources for me to check out and see if this is a good way to go?

Thx

Be sure to check out Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS) and give Ric Schultz a call. I know him to be a good guy and has a new line of open baffle designs (originally insired by the Emerald Physics CS-2, but have since gone way beyond) that, while not availible on his site as "kits" per se, they can certainly be built by the average DIY'er for a fraction of the cost. Just talkt to Ric about that. There are photo's and descriptions of each model on his site.
